How to invest in Bitcoin in Canada? Are there any ETF's that I can purchase? Any risks with them?

Q: I have this company in my long term RRSP account thanks to 5i. I was wondering your thoughts on journaling this over to the USD side in my rrsp account and what benefits/downside could come from this for exchange or currency exposure? The div is paid in USD and my drip is turned on the idea would be if new shares were not bought that USD cash would slowly grow in the account.

Q: Can I ask for an updated view of KPT.

Q: For now, investors seem to have decided to fade the chaos of Trumpenomics. However, one has to wonder how long the massive contradictions will be ignored.
Scott Bessent (Treasury), the man who wrote the report that identified the contradictions in the UK economy that made George Soros $billions, certainly must see the dangers, and yet, he is the source of one of the major contradictions, when he says the Fed shouldn’t lower rates while Trump demands the opposite.

Is Fed independence under attack and how will investors read this?

Are tariffs, as claimed, for revenue or to reduce imports? They can’t be both.
But if the tax cuts are to be permanent, $3 trillion in revenue has to be found somewhere.

Will Trump let a gnat like the Parliamentarian, or the Chairman of the Federal Reserve, stand in his way?

If, at some point, investors focus on the issues around tariffs-as-revenue, or threats to Fed independence they may begin to worry, and decide to sell equities.

The cost to hedge against such an event would be prohibitively expense given one wouldn’t know whether or when it would occur.

I’m sure 5i is considering these issues, but here is what I am pondering. How does an investor with a large equity portfolio manage this kind of risk? Would growth stocks be hardest hit? Are etfs better than individual stocks? What defensive stocks are likely least affected? Are there equities that would do well in such a scenario? How would bonds perform?

Q: Could you please suggest some Active & Passive Emerging Market ETF's without China exposure available on both Canadian and US exchanges that might be worth adding to one's TFSA?

Q: Can I get your updated views on this company?

Q: Why (ARKG) has recently experienced a notable increase in value? ThankYou

Q: I am looking at VTI or QQQ for a long term hold in my RRSP. I have read that value has outperformed growth over the long term, so VTI would be better as it’s a large-cap blend instead of growth ETF (QQQ). Do you expect growth to outperform value or vice versa over the next 25 years?

Q: A grandson age 22 saw ad from canadian personality ontv. He says that this company has investors making money with small amount deposited. I told him to hold off and was going to check with 5i.

Q: Relate to my earlier question on BCE, to fund a single lot buy of GOOG after selling BCE, to fund the gap I need to trim or sell one or some of my existing USD holdings: BN, BAM, BEP, BIPC, BIP, SHOP, VGT, PLTR, ICLN, PRMB. I like them all. What order would YOU consider in selling/trimming? Most have some tax implications due to lengthy holding periods.
